The term LEGAL PREFIX is related to the prefix para- which is derived from the Greek word 'para' meaning 'beside, near, BEYOND, or apart'. This prefix is used in legal terminology to refer to something that is 'BEYOND' or 'OUTSIDE' of the normal scope of law. It is often used to describe a situation where a person or entity is not bound by the same laws as everyone else. For example, a para-legal is someone who is not a lawyer but has knowledge of the law and can provide legal advice.
